I'm so glad they enjoyed Untamed Heart!! It's my favorite romance film and usually these types of movies make me cringe. But this movie was just so beautiful and such likable characters!!
This video brought a smile to me of what once was. Siskel and Ebert are at the top of game, healthy before cruelties of life took over. Reviewing Groundhog Day, in my estimation one of the great American movies of all time.
And the best part about Groundhog Day is how, like in the plot of the movie, it grows on you and gets better over time. When it came out it was seen as a sweet, funny disposable little comedy and a strong comeback for Bill Murray, whose career had started to flag by then. Over time, though, it grew into the iconic film it's known as today and Murray's strongest performance (along with his role in "Lost in Translation", another great film).
@@kerrysmith1899I've heard that time estimate among others, some are much longer. I recently rewatched it...holds up and now I see some Schitts Creek connections with Chris Elliott and Robin Duke.
As a kid, NOBODY around loved movies and really paying attention to them the way I did. The only time anyone in my house shared my passion was on Sunday mornings, when Siskel and Ebert joined me in the television room in the basement. These guys popularized appreciating film as an artform the way Carl Sagan popularized astronomy. They are missed.
Even though his original review was positive, Roger Ebert wrote in 2005 that he did not fully appreciate Groundhog Day on it's initial release: "'Groundhog Day' is a film that finds its note and purpose so precisely that its genius may not be immediately noticeable. It unfolds so inevitably, is so entertaining, so apparently effortless, that you have to stand back and slap yourself before you see how good it really is. Certainly I underrated it in my original review."
After watching the review, I was shocked the way they both agree all 4 out of 5 films, I'm amazed.

Today is Groundhog Day in 2021! I am watching Siskel and Ebert are rewiewing the movie Groundhog Day! How is ironic is that? I am going to give that two thumbs up for sure! Have a nice day!
@@rxtsec1 Only certain film snobs believed she was unworthy, because her film was a comedy and the other nominees were in serious dramas, some of them period pieces. Also, she was the sole American nominee in her category. Europhile Rex Reed was the film critic who immediately started the lie that Marisa Tomei only won for _My Cousin Vinny_ because presenter Jack Palance (and fellow American) had read out the wrong name, and that the Academy engaged in a "massive cover-up" to avoid the embarrassment of admitting the mistake. That rumor quickly spread like wildfire and became an urban legend, which apparently some people still believe. The fact is, she won fair and square. History has proven the Academy right on this one, because her film/performance is the most remembered and beloved of the bunch.
@@Chapin-pc2kz exactly & what happened to la la land & moonlight gave us the inner workings of how a mistake like that can't even happen or be covered up. Also like you said she's the one people talk about the most & she still has had a great career since.
Groundhog day is a humdinger of a screenplay a d an all-time comedy great. I love how it takes a kind of innocent joke of a holiday to make it this running gag, which is also symbolic of the moral center of the protagonist: Will he, or will he not, stop being a jerk?
I wаtсhed Groundhog Day full mоvie here twitter.com/d840affddb9b89425/status/795843342273646592 Siskel Ebert Groundhog Day Untamеd Hеart Loveee Field 1993
Groundhog Day seems to be one of those movies where you really like it at first, and then after a few more viewings you really appreciate its epic greatness. One funny thing is how, like many critics, S&E trashed "The Warriors." Ebert, again like many others, gave it a positive re-evaluation years later.
You do realize this is aged footage off an old videotape that was uploaded to TH-cam over 20 years later? Thus, the show did not look this fuzzy when it originally aired.
In 1992, Michelle Pfeiffer's Oscar nomination should have been for _Batman Returns,_ not _Love Field._ The former was a smash hit and her Catwoman became instantly iconic; the latter bombed with both critics and audiences. Alas, the Academy would not have nominated someone from a superhero movie back then.'
I'm going to have to check out Riff Raff. I loved Ken Loach's "I, Daniel Blake" and Riff Raff looks to be a more comedic but still scathing take on the UK class system
Great evolving comedy in Groundhog Day. They were spot on about the film and story being perfect for Bill Murray. Could watch that one today and still is entertaining. Untamed Heart is a good film, however does skirt the line in sappiness, almost ridiculousness at times.

I love watching siskel and ebert. It's like going back in a time machine to better times.
Me too :) I wish they would release a collection of all the episodes on DVD\Netflix or something.
@@cakestalker Well, a ton of them are on youtube !! Enjoy !!!
It totally is. Before the internet. Plus, the 80's and 90's had many great films compared to now.
Siskel and Ebert could discuss movies and agree or sometimes disagree but always remain friends. This is the way America used to be.
And here we are in the second year of this pandemic and wow...is your post ever timely. Prophetic even
god bless whoever cared enough to record all of these shows on VHS, and whoever uploaded them afterwards
Digitized them (that's the time consuming step)... then upload them.
I'm so glad they enjoyed Untamed Heart!! It's my favorite romance film and usually these types of movies make me cringe. But this movie was just so beautiful and such likable characters!!
Yes, totally forgotten film.

GRoundhog Day was and is a Great Movie

Midgeon Mac hopefully it will grow on you too :)
It's now been calculated that Murray's character relived Ground Hog Day for the equivalent of 40 years.
@@kerrysmith1899I've heard that time estimate among others, some are much longer. I recently rewatched it...holds up and now I see some Schitts Creek connections with Chris Elliott and Robin Duke.
1993, when the phrase Groundhog Day actually referred to the actual day itself and not what it means now: reliving the same event over and over.
reminds me of quiet Saturdays at home in 80s and 90s. was just a kid but loved this show

Finally I can agree with them. Untamed Heart is very dear to me. It’s a great movie with a pure story
Untamed Heart is one of my favoriten guilty pleasures of all time. One of Christian Slaters best performances along with True Romance & Heathers.
No such thing as a guilty pleasure. If you liked it, why feel guilty? Don't be intimidated by posers.
Guilty Pleasure??? That's for bad movies you like. "Untamed Heart" is a great film. Nothing bad about it.
Fix the tracking!! Haha, how many people reading this know what that means?
I was waiting for the auto to kick in............
Wait a moment.... I think it did!
Scratch that, it didn't.
I was hoping for the osd to show it.
I would have said it but I didn't want to give away my age lol. jk
Watched these 2 a lot, man, I sure miss these 2. Thanks for the memories!
As a Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania native I was glad that they enjoyed Groundhog Day!
Even though his original review was positive, Roger Ebert wrote in 2005 that he did not fully appreciate Groundhog Day on it's initial release: "'Groundhog Day' is a film that finds its note and purpose so precisely that its genius may not be immediately noticeable.

There's an animated film I love called The Mystery of Mamo. I first saw it when I was 16 and it took me nearly 20 years to truly appreciate it.
After watching the review, I was shocked the way they both agree all 4 out of 5 films, I'm amazed. Doesn't happen quite often.

I like how they themselves selected scenes to show strenghts or weaknesses of films.
They didn't select them, the studios did.
groundhog day and untamed heart are worth watching numerous times.
Both of them nailed groundhog day. 👍
7:29 For those of us only here for Groundhog Day 😉
Robert Artois damnit. Now I get to this comment 9’ minutes in.
I cried at the end of How Green Was My Valley.
All of the film locations in "Untamed Heart" are no longer there. Met Center - Ikea. North Stars - Dallas. Riverplace--Office space. Jim's Coffee Shop --?

Today is Groundhog Day in 2021! I am watching Siskel and Ebert are rewiewing the movie Groundhog Day! How is ironic is that? I am going to give that two thumbs up for sure! Have a nice day!
BUT I loved G Day. All the supporting cast members were great especially Steve T. "Phil? Phil?!"
Love the review of Groundhog Day! I am from Punxsutawney, PA and yes I have met the groundhog many many times!
Untamed Heart is good love story since Edward Scissorhands & Benny & Joon.
GOD! I REALLLLLLLLLYYY wanted to smack the side of my flat screen to get the static to go away! It was getting on my nerves so much!
Gene didn't live to see Marisa Tomei get nominated again for more Oscars, sadly.
I don't know why she's considered one of the worst best supporting actress winners. to this day I thought she did a great job in my cousin vinny

Christian Slater should have gotten an Oscar nomination for this great performance. Marisa Romeo should have too.
Who?
I'm will to bet that was Valentines Day 1993? Lol. Whatever a great week for romcoms. Groundhog day is an anduring classic.
Groundhog Day will be a musical on Broadway in NYC next spring...I'm going.
david stanley Enjoy! Its been on in London recently but sadly I didn't go.

February 12th, 1993. Good call!
Yeah, correct. It was Feb. 1993.
Like how they agreed on Groundhog Day, this helped develop Murray's career, showing he isnt just a comedian but how he can be profound
ADJUST THE TRACKING ON YOUR VCR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9:59 has to be one of the best one-word punchlines in movie history 😂😂😂
Disappointing S&E didn't like "Groundhog Day" more. It is a truly wonderful film, much better than their understated praise here.
I expected them to gush over it more also
Nothing disappointing about their review...they LOVED it, they just didn't gush over each and every movie they really enjoyed...

Reminds me of visiting my Dad on the weekends after the divorce.
Pleasantly surprised they enjoyed groundhog day.
My one take from these guys. Don’t eat movie theater. Popcorn. !
Groundhog Day is a great comedy classic
My God, HOW HAPPY I AM that videotape is DEAD! Abysmal quality.
You do realize this is aged footage off an old videotape that was uploaded to TH-cam over 20 years later? Thus, the show did not look this fuzzy when it originally aired.
Love the face Phil Connors (a bourbon guy) makes after taking his first sip of Vermouth.
Is this presented in 4K HDR? The quality is breathtaking.
It came from an old vhs recording what do you want lol?
I want him/her to clean the shit off the tape before subjecting us to it.
VHS tapes magnetically decompose through time you millennial shit for brains.

Was this recorded on the moon and sent back via a dial up modem?

Untamed Heart is a good film, however does skirt the line in sappiness, almost ridiculousness at times.
2:15 - John Leguizamo looks great
I miss the early 90s
Big city sensibility? But he's a weatherman in Pittsburgh.
Strictly Ballroom is a predecessor to Dancing with the Asshole Stars.
Pfeiffer's southern accent... more proof that we got the right Clarice Starling.
She was Oscar nominated for this too.
Too bad the video quality is so bad.
Heart and Love both earnest movies but both missed the mark.
Although Ebert liked 'Groundhog day' it was later, like many critic's subsequent re-reviews he realized the impactful sheer greatness of it.
Was that bubbles in the bathtub?
Untamed Heart Rules Marisa And Rosie are two eye 🍭 🍭😍😍
2:08 Exactly how is Rosie Perez 'inevitable'?
They chose the two parts when the didnt agree with her acting
Awesome😈
I never found Groundhog Day to be a classic. The ending was stupid. I could tell it was a writer's line.
I prefer What About Bob to Groundhog Day. Baby steps...
